If you are a EEE economist thinking of coming over to Bluesky, Steve Cicala has put together a starter pack of others in EEE. https://t.co/WHuQ8czzCZ
Come on over. Besides ditching Elon and DJT, much higher ratio of posts I actually want to see.

Elon Musk has turned into his sadistic conspiracy-theorist father, using Twitter to do it. That's why I'm on Blue Sky (along with many other economists and energy folks) posting daily with articles and new research on energy markets. @severinborenstein

Dropping in after many months just to ask why you are still here with Musk? I'm on Bluesky @severinborenstein or email me [email protected].

“My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” Musk tweeted Sunday. “As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people.” https://t.co/5heRcfn5PO

It would be so great if economists led the ethical path here and deserted Twitter in droves. Hard to see an argument for staying other than network lock in. But isn't that an argument for leaving before it gets worse? Hope to see you on Mastodon or elsewhere.

[Severin Borenstein 🇺🇦 @BorensteinS]

I'm on Mastodon @[email protected], where I see only the posts of accounts I follow, no ads, no suggestions, no tweets from N degrees of separation. It's really lovely.

Marjorie Taylor Green's Twitter account reinstated and she's already tweeting hate and lies. Trump soon to do same. And Twitter's algorithms send their tweets to non-followers in order to boost outrage and usage. It's really time for me to leave Twitter completely.
